North Face StormBreak 1 Tent for Backpacking

I am new to backpacking (I've done plenty of carcamping) but I want to start doing some solo overnight backpacking trips and am looking at buying either a 1 or 2 person tent to do overnight backpacking trips with. My budget is under $200.00, and after doing a lot of research I have found the North Face Stormbreak 1. I have read good reviews, but does anyone have experience with this and can shed light on the Pro's and Con's?

My specific questions for this are, for this price of around $129.00 for the NF StormBreak1, are there better tents? I am wrestling between a 1 person or 2 person tent, as in the future I MAY be going backpacking with my fiance if I can ever convince her to set foot outdoors! I know this also means more room for personal solo use, but I'm not a fan of the extra weight.

Any advice for a newbie would be greatly apprecaited! Thank you!

Well, that is about 5.5 lbs of tent. It's a lot of weight however you look at it. There are a lot of pluses here, double doors/vestibules, good manufacturer, nice height, etc. It will get the job done. Your fiance will be comfortable or... as comfortable as she could be in a tent. And if you're splitting the weight its ok.
Here's the thing. We all want something and then wind up getting something else that we can afford and it rarely satisfies our need. I speak from experience. I've wasted a lot of money settling on gear I could afford only to figure out quickly that I really needed something else, and spending more getting that.
The Stormbreak will do what you need but it may nag on you when it comes to that last remark you made. "'m not a fan of the extra weight." It's hard to find a tent that will do solo trips AND be the perfect thing for her at a decent weight at $130. If price is the over-riding factor, you can't go wrong with the Stormbreak.
I'd add that you may want to check things out at used gear spots and see if you can get something a bit lighter that fits the bill. I just found a 2 lb 15 oz tent on ebay but it cost a little over $100 more than this.
As far as getting the fiance out goes. Make the 1st hike a short one to a beautiful spot with a full moon, good weather and bring a good meal, hot cocoa and plenty of bourbon. She'll love it.
